Hambelton shows rivals the Highway Sent off the 6/5 favourite, Hambelton was a cosy winner of Gowran Highway Safety Developments Handicap for owners MRC International and jockey Luke McAteer. On a day where being on the front end was proving to be advantageous, the three-year-old son of Ghaiyyath showed a good attitude, making all to stay ahead of the onrushing No More Porter, who made up some good ground late but could only finish half a length behind the winner, who was recording his second victory in three start. "He's a horse in the making," said winning trainer David Marnane. "We won't be in a rush to run him back now. We had contemplated bringing him to York for the Ebor Festival, but I don't think we will. I'd say we'll wait for three or four weeks. "Coming back here 15 days after York was always a bit of a worry. He's definitely a horse for the future and is only going to get better next year." Quotes from John O'Riordan
